Ozej 13
1 Ko je Efrájim trepetajoč govoril, se je povišal v Izraelu, toda ko se je pohujšal z Báalom, je umrl.
When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
2 In sedaj bolj in bolj grešijo in iz svojega srebra so si naredili ulite podobe in malike, glede na svoje lastno razumevanje. Vsi ti so delo rokodelcev, o njih pravijo: ›Naj možje, ki žrtvujejo, poljubijo teleta.‹
And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 Zatorej bodo kakor jutranji oblak in kakor zgodnja rosa, ki izginja, kakor pleve, ki je z vrtinčastim vetrom odpihnjeno iz mlatišča in kakor dim iz dimnika.
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passes away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 In vendar jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, od egiptovske dežele in razen mene ne boš poznal nobenega boga, kajti poleg mene ni rešitelja.
Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.
5 Poznal sem te v divjini, v deželi velike suše.
I did know you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 Glede na njihov pašnik, tako so bili nasičeni; nasičeni so bili in njihovo srce je bilo povzdignjeno, zato so me pozabili.
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Zatorej jim bom kakor lev, kakor leopard ob poti jih bom opazoval.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8 Srečal jih bom kakor medvedka, ki je oropana svojih mladičev in raztrgal bom opno njihovega srca in tam jih bom požrl kakor lev. Divja žival jih bo trgala.
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the lobe of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 Oh Izrael, uničeval si samega sebe, toda v meni je tvoja pomoč.
O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in me is your help.
10 Jaz bom tvoj kralj. Kje je katerikoli drug, ki te lahko reši v vseh tvojih mestih? In tvoji sodniki, o katerih praviš: ›Daj mi kralja in prince?‹
I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
11 V svoji jezi sem ti dal kralja in v svojem besu sem ga vzel proč.
I gave you a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12 Krivičnost Efrájima je zvezana, njegov greh je skrit.
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13 Bridkosti ženske v porodnih mukah bodo prišle nadenj. On je nespameten sin, kajti ne bi smel dolgo ostati v odprtini rojevanja otrok.
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking out of children.
14 Odkupil jih bom pred oblastjo groba; odkupil jih bom pred smrtjo. ›Oh smrt, jaz bom tvoje kuge; ‹ ›Oh grob, jaz bom tvoje uničenje.‹ Kesanje bo skrito mojim očem. (Sheol h7585)
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave, I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Čeprav bi bil rodoviten med svojimi brati, bo prišel vzhodni veter, veter od Gospoda bo prišel gor iz divjine in njegov izvir se bo posušil in njegov studenec bo osušen. Oplenil bo zaklad vseh prijetnih posod.
Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Samarija bo postala zapuščena, kajti uprla se je zoper svojega Boga. Padli bodo pod mečem, njihovi otročiči bodo razbiti na koščke in njihove nosečnice bodo razparane.
Samaria shall become desolate; for she has rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
